Tracking Time during Circuit Training

Circuit training is a mode of training that I typically respond really well too and something that I tend to turn to a lot in my training.  One of the minor but annoying issues that I tended to encounter was that tracking the time for various sets and rest periods using my phone was a bit difficult with the built-in time app, especially when different timings were involved (e.g. 30 seconds of burpees followed by 15 seconds of rest). 

For the past 2 years, I’ve solved that issue with the TimerPlus app which easily lets me set different timings for different elements of the circuit, including variable rest periods between sets and a complete run of the circuit.  It’s proven to be highly customizable and I also appreciate the audio cues it gives between elements as depending on the exercise it’s not always easy to reposition yourself to look at a clock or watch.  I prefer a GPS watch for timing runs and hikes, but have found this app really useful for tracking gym-based circuits.
